Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Another two hundred years have passed.

There is no birth of new gods, no changes brought about by the activities of living things, except that there are more places for plants to grow, the earth has not changed from two hundred years ago.

But on this day, the disaster that Ryan had foreseen happened.

Maybe it really happened, or maybe it was just the God King’s imagination. In short, after another ‘entertainment’ with his children, the Heavenly Father claimed to see dissatisfaction and resentment in the eyes of his children.

"So you have finally made a decision?" Ouranos laughed wildly. He stood on the beach and threw the last child Rhea found in front of him.

"You have suppressed dissatisfaction with me in your hearts. Are you going to attack me now?"

"We didn't, father." Hyperion said, "We all swore that no one would dare to do anything to you."

"Yeah -" Ouranos interrupted his child's defense: "The oath is a good excuse. I can think of another one for you."

"For example, you don't have weapons yet, right? If you want to sit on the throne of God King, you need at least a long sword."

The Twelve Titans were silent. They knew their excuses were meaningless, so they waited patiently for the King of God's fate.

This kind of thing has happened many times in the past. The God King will always find some reasonable or unreasonable reasons and punish them freely. The Titans expected that, as before, they would feel pain or be mentally insulted, and they were prepared for this. But obviously, the result this time will be beyond their expectations.

At this moment, the gods have not realized the seriousness of the problem, because Ouranos is coming for real.

After all, Gaia still hasn't given birth to another son of God for him in five hundred years.

"Titans, listen to me. I have thought of many ways to deal with you, such as locking you into the abyss."

Turning his back, Ouranos's voice suddenly calmed down.

He didn't look at the expressions of his children. He knew they would appear scared, but they were not actually scared. Because unlike those monsters, they are true gods.

Abuse of authority will be punished by the world. Imprisoning a few monsters without priesthood will only temporarily weaken his divine power. But if he imprisons the twelve true gods together, their corresponding priesthoods will lose control, and the consequences will continue to affect him.

This was the case for Zeus in later generations. After defeating the Titans, except for Cleos and Cronus, all the other Titans who surrendered to him escaped.

Because weather can be replaced, time and space are never completely mastered. But if he dared to lock the sun in, the consequences would be enough to replace him with his brother.

It was not until later that Zeus's descendants were born, and the sun, moon and stars had their own gods to replace them, that the Titans faded out of the divine court under his pressure.

But there is no replacement for Ouranos right now. For the past thousands of years, he had been thinking about what to do with these children all the time, and it was only now that he finally had an idea.

How to make a god ‘exist and not exist’?

If only he had been born, but not yet.

So the God King made up his mind, and his supreme power began to emerge. Two thousand and five hundred years of being the God King allowed him to almost completely take that step, and even in terms of strength alone, he was not inferior to the great divine power.

Under the horrified gaze of the twelve Titans, Ouranos turned the sky into a sharp blade and concentrated it on his right hand. He looked at the gods in front of him and made the final judgment in the name of the God King.

"You are rebellious, cowardly, and imperfect gods. You have power, but you do not match your power. So as your father and your king, I graciously give you another chance."

The Titans were a little confused.

They didn’t understand what their father meant. Since the gods had already been born, how could there be talk of ‘coming again’?

It wasn't until the God King's right arm crossed the earth and he grabbed his eldest son that the Titans finally understood how they were going to 'do it again'.

"ah--!"

As the sky streaked across the earth, Gaia's painful voice echoed throughout the world. She was waiting for her husband to return on the sacred mountain and suddenly felt great pain. The earth is being torn apart, and Mother Earth, as a manifestation of personality, feels this.

That was the power of the God King, and she was extremely sure of this. The supreme power was forcibly cutting open her abdomen, and she felt something familiar being stuffed inside.

‘Oceanos? ’

Gaia seemed to identify the source of the breath in her painful wail.

"ah----!"

The next moment, more severe pain came, this time from Tesis. Soon, as familiar scents appeared one after another, Gaia even lost the strength to cry. When Cronus also returned to his mother's body, she lay on her back on the top of the sacred mountain in a daze, looking at the sky that had remained the same for thousands of years.

That was her true love, but now she is her enemy.

The two of them could not coexist in this world, she was convinced of this.

"Gaia, are you okay?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Ouranos’s voice came from afar. The God King's tone was full of joy because he finally solved the problem that had been troubling him.

"I no longer have to worry about my children." Ouranos said happily: "The prophecy can be postponed, it is feasible. As long as they are still in your belly, they will never be 'born' yet."

"But you're going against my instincts."

Gaia's voice was emotionless, she didn't even know how she could still speak: "As 'embryos' they will absorb my power, but as adult gods, they will not get any enhancement from it."

"Yes, you are right. So I want to thank you, my Queen of Gods." Uranus' voice suddenly softened, as gentle as it was a thousand years ago.

"I will remember your contribution to me."

"Now, let's celebrate this moment."

He embraced Gaia, but Mother Earth was indifferent.

But the God King didn't care. He is the king of gods, and the gods should give everything for him. His children do so, and so should Gaia.

"It's started."

Lian looked up and looked at the chaotic celestial phenomena at the moment.

The sky and the earth fit together again, but everyone who saw this scene had an inexplicable sense of horror. The source sea was trembling slightly, as if something terrible was about to happen.

The gears of fate began to turn, and as the myth said, the authority of the God King would begin to change.

"The feast is about to begin, but I am the only spectator."

"Among the four surviving primitive ancient gods, only Gaia is fully personified, and her end is the most miserable."

"Perhaps this is the beginning of Gaia's change, enough to remember the eternal experience, so that she will never believe in creatures like the 'God King' again."

With his eyes narrowed, Ryan took the initiative to walk out of the cave for the first time.

Between the earth and the abyss, there is a place that is still empty at the moment, which was later called the underworld.

Eternal night and darkness intertwine there, and the mother earth and the abyss converge there. Although most of Chaos's myths take place on the ground, the underworld is actually the most terrifying place.

Ryan wants to have the next conversation there. If nothing unexpected happens, the underworld will be his new home in the future era.
